Move over John Travolta… this is Saturday night lemur!
These incredible pictures show a nimble lemur strutting his stuff just like John Travolta in Saturday Night Fever.
The Verreaux’s Sifaka can be seen performing solo before roping in a few friends to join him on the sandy dance floor at the Berenty Reserve in Madagascar.

Dale Morris is a professional wildlife photographer from the UK who is now based in South Africa.
He snapped the light-footed lemur as he happily stretched, hopped, skipped and jumped for the camera.
The 45-year-old said: “Sifakas are not anatomically built to walk upon the ground. They are designed by nature to live in the trees.

“They get around by jumping from one tree to the next, rather like a spring loaded grasshopper.
“When they come to the ground, rather than walking on all fours – which is impossible for them – they bounce and leap.

“This has lead to their nickname The Dancing Sifakas.”
